The activity of a radioactive sample falls from \(700 \;\mathrm{s}^{-1}\) to \(500\; \mathrm{s}^{-1}\) in \(30\;min\). Its half life is close to.........\(min\)
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(62\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(A=A_{0}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \frac{t}{T_{1 / 2}}\)
\(500=700\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \frac{t}{T_{1 / 2}}\)
\(0.7 \approx\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \frac{t}{T_{1 / 2}}\)
\(\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{1 / 2} \approx \frac{t}{T_{1 / 2}}\)
\(\frac{30}{\mathrm{T}_{1 / 2}} \approx \frac{1}{2} \Rightarrow \mathrm{T}_{1 / 2}=60\)
